Reply to How to prevent booth monitors from causing unreliable timecode signal?

Last evening i ran my first club evening , and it was my first set playing with turntables. I was the only person using the technics, and i had set them up personally before the show. when i started to play i noticed that there was a small bit of skipping once in a while, usually on a heavy kick or bass note, and so i changed to relative mode, but kept getting it.

I increased the counter-weight. reversed it, basically put so much weight that i'm surprised the needle didnt burn through my record, but still my signal was bouncing all over the place, eventually i just switched to internal play as soon as i had the record ready for mixing.

How could i avoid this happening in future evening s, i'd hate it to happen again!
